Information to be displayed on a display is generated in such a way that a gateway processes a measured value (with a time stamp) transmitted from a power meter, an appliance monitor, a solar module, and a battery center through a wireless LAN. In the gateway, information relating to the consumed electric energy is synchronized with each other by the time stamp. Further, an integrated value of the consumed electric energy is calculated with respect to time. The information can be secured by obtaining the integrated value of data even if breakdown of devices and the like occurs due to power failure.

A slow-clock calibration method, a slow-clock calibration unit, a clock circuit and a mobile communication terminal are provided. The calibration method includes: obtaining a current temperature of the crystal; searching a unique frequency-divide coefficient corresponding to the current temperature from a preset data base; if the coefficient is found in the data base, inputting the unique coefficient into a frequency divider; if the coefficient is not found in the data base, obtaining an actual sleep length of the mobile communication terminal, if the actual sleep length is not equal to a required sleep length, calculating a required frequency-divide coefficient and updating the data base with the required frequency-divide coefficient, and if the actual sleep length of the mobile communication terminal is equal to the required sleep length, updating the data base with a current frequency-divide coefficient. Accordingly, slow-clock calibration is realized with reduced crystal costs.

Water leaks and other anomalies in irrigation systems may be detected by analysis of energy consumption data captured from a utility power meter, and particularly energy data from smart meters that service water pumps. Furthermore, water usage can be measured indirectly from the energy required to move it given an understanding of its operating condition that ties water flow and electrical power. Unlike existing solutions that use water meters or other sensors, embodiments of the present method described herein detect water leaks and other anomalies from the electrical load for the water pump(s) and track the operating condition of the pump.
